Large Format Material - Honeycomb Board

What is Honeycomb Board?

Honeycomb board is a rigid, paper based display material designed as a sustainable alternative to plastic boards, foam board and MDF. It combines high strength with very low weight, making it ideal for indoor retail signage, retail displays and exhibition graphics where durability are essential.

What is Honeycomb Board made of?

Honeycomb board is made from paper fibres formed into a structured core, combined with strong outer liner sheets. This construction creates a lightweight board with excellent rigidity and a smooth printable surface. These structured paperboards use a refined manufacturing process to produce a sealed, dust free core with improved strength and consistency compared to traditional honeycomb designs.

100% recyclable paper based material. Made from paper fibres, honeycomb board can be recycled through standard paper recycling streams.
